I thought the future was going to be murdered by super-genius overlords or robots or alien plagues not a bunch of illiterate pervy roadside-sobriety-test-failing Family Guy bit characters this is gross

@JenWojcik there are fewer than 3,000 billionaires IIRC.
With a population of 8 billion, only a very small percentage of people need to understand the solution and act. I maintain faith we'll figure it out.
@JenWojcik @Gustodon you said that the last time also
On the day of the passage, the spirit of the otherworld will ponder the flow of time.
@macrumors @spitfire I would have to agree with you there.
@macrumors my Casio has a 10 year battery life which should last at least 7. But there’s a catch: it cost me $20 and some change.
@revpuddudley Make Republicans Great Again?
@kuzushi You are way ahead of the pack asking for or warning about security infrastructure. Most don’t even have their backups up to snuff in case they need to recover from them. DR is a term for academics. Don’t believe me? Go to any IT shop with a large APC UPS and type in apc as the username and password and see if anyone has bothered to change the default.
@darkuncle @kuzushi i second that

Before I go to bed, since I've been staring at both the justification and problem statements of my phd for hours now-- here is what I want to say plainly.

Cybersecurity has moved past the stage of interesting, and is now hanging on the edge of critical. We aren't talking about just firms that handle data, but everyone ranging from cow farms to hospitals and even casinos are now in scope with ransomware at play. That genie is out of the bottle, and it won't go back in.

This problem is compounded by an utter lack of formalism and studies into what works and why. Hell, we barely even have formal studies available into how to test... with most near all advanced studies being focused on binary analysis and reverse engineering. Security testers are getting taught the same stuff that was created lit. in 2012 and hasn't been updated since. Some of our most popular tools for testing were created in 2006, with many not being frequently updated since. We gotta grow up, and we gotta grow up fast.

I have references if you really need them.
